Living Off the Pipeline / À l’Ombre du Pipeline

OWASP Montréal and Cybereco invite you to a talk by Simon Harvey on integrating security as early as possible in the software development process.

The DevSecOps philosophy promotes the “Shift-Left” approach, which involves integrating security as early as possible in the software development lifecycle. Although the objective is clear, implementing it often represents a major challenge.

This presentation explores the benefits, strategic considerations and practical methods for reorienting development processes towards “Shift-Left”. We’ll see how the use of pre-commit hooks can transform developers’ daily workflows, making security a seamless and integral part of their creative process.
